subs

[Fabio1701]

I thought it a bit of a shame that subs in civ6 cant go under ice like they can in civ5. That was a nice little cold war addition. Then I though it is pretty lame that subs are so limited considering how cold war is now actually a theme in this game. So here's a proposal o make hem more interesting:

- Allow subs to enter foreign territory without a open borders treaty. If they are spotted then they are expelled and you get a diplomacy hit similar to a spy being caught. surprise attacking from within doubles warmonger penalty.

- Allow nuclear subs to have a 'silent running' mode which means they are not visible to an adjacent unit, but only when a unit actually tries to go over them (and then they are expelled). Activating this silent mode reduces the movement to 1 tile per turn and it cannot attack while in silent mode. Activating/deactivating the silent mode takes all the movement points (essentially takes a turn). (otherwise the sneak attack potential would just be too overpowering).

- and of course go under ice.

what do you think?

Its nice,,, just the barbs like building subs now, it would force me to send subs after subs at the ice caps
Silent running is OKish.. the norwegians should be able to spot it due to herring bubbles though.

why barbs build subs I have no idea. I have seen that too. I understand that they may have a destroyer to simulate some modern piracy, but a sub? those things require pretty advanced docking infrastructure.
